A handful of new homes have hit the market at the ongoing Halsted Row development at 2847 – 2905 N Halsted St in Lake View. The joint Stillpoint Development / Chicago Graystone project, which will have 44 condos in its five buildings when finished, has eight units left in the recently completed building at 2859 N Halsted St. They range from a two-bedroom / two-bath priced in the $440s, to a three-bedroom / two-bath in the $710s.
One unit remains at the 2905 N Halsted St building (a three-bedroom / two bath in the $600s) and the 2847 N Halsted St building (a two-bedroom / two-bath in the $530s). All of 2901’s condos have sold, and the proposed building at 2853, which is still essentially a hole in the ground (above left), is set to start construction in either the late fall or early spring, according to Jameson Real Estate’s Dave Salyers.
As an incentive, developers are offering free spots in the Halsted Row’s indoor heated parking garage for the next four people that sign contracts, a value of $30,000 each.

I hope that developments like this continue to march northward (during the next real estate cycle, I presume) and finally replace that god-awful strip mall and Walgreens/bank flanking the corner of Halsted and Diversey.
You know, I would love for the city to stamp out strip mall development for once and for all in its densest lakefront neighborhoods. I think the desirability and high incomes of these neighborhoods are enough leverage for the city to go with a “play by our rules or don’t have a store in our neighborhood” strategy.
Well it may be 30 years at the pace the Halsted Row has been moving…That started in 2005 or even earlier, and has moved like a snail
Isn’t the one on the southwest corner practically empty now? The strip mall, I mean.
So Urban Politician what is it with this hatred of strip malls. Is it the convenience of parking that is upsetting you or do you prefer to wind up and down levels of parking garage as if that is more efficient. While a bunch of strip malls kills a neighborhood, a few scattered here and there can be quite a convenience for residence, especially seniors.
And please refrain from the “business below/residence above” model; that only works for yoga studios and insurance agents. No one and I mean no one, prefers to live above a bar or restaurant which is what most neighborhoods desire, but the residences of the buildings are against.
Chicago doesn’t have “a few (strip malls) scattered here and there”. It has them all over the place.
They are ugly, they deface the urban environment, they are an embarrassment, they put the car above the pedestrian, and they need stop getting built in some of Chicago’s densest neighborhood.
If you want to defend them, go ahead and support the defacement of your neighborhood.
tup,
In many parts of Chicago the choices are stark: strip malls or no commercial development at all.
Which would you choose for, say, the vacant miles along many of Chicago’s main streets?
^ Since when did I say I had anything against strip malls in “many parts of Chicago” as you put it?
Go reread my arguments, particularly the part where I mention strip malls being out of place in Chicago’s “densest lakefront neighborhoods”. If Developer X wants to build a strip center in Austin, I’m all for rolling out the red carpet.
